Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Visitor Center and Exhibit Surveys at the Office of National 
Marine Sanctuaries and Partner Outreach Facilities.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (request for a new information 
collection).
    Number of Respondents: 8,400.
    Average Hours per Response: 4 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 560.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a new collection of 
information. NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) is 
conducting research to measure the public's opinions about sanctuary 
visitor centers, exhibits, and kiosks. Exhibits and kiosks covered 
under the survey can be permanent or traveling/temporary. The survey 
will be administered annually both within ONMS visitor centers as well 
as at partner venues that host an exhibit or kiosk on a national marine 
sanctuary or marine national monument. The survey will cover visitor 
centers, exhibits, and kiosks system-wide across all the national 
marine sanctuaries and marine national monuments managed or co-managed 
by NOAA's ONMS.
    The visitor survey will be conducted to obtain an objective 
analysis of visitor experiences within a sanctuary visitor center or at 
a partner venue that includes an exhibit or kiosk with information on a 
national marine sanctuary or marine national monument. Information will 
be obtained on visitor satisfaction with the overall exhibits or 
kiosks, graphics, multi-media products, interactives, along with the 
overall feelings about the facilities and services offered at the 
centers/venues. The survey will acquire data on the effectiveness of 
sanctuary/monument messaging, awareness about and use of sanctuary/
monument resources, as well as additional recreational and/or 
educational opportunities available to the public. Lastly, the survey 
will include questions about visitor demographics.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
